Elixir strings are a top - seller in today's market, and for good reason. They come with Nanoweb and Polyweb coatings, offering a wide range of string types and gauges to meet every player's preference. The coating gives a balanced tone and a smooth, responsive feel. It reduces finger squeak and lasts 3 - 5 times longer than ordinary strings, as it protects against sweat and grime. This means you'll buy fewer sets of strings and change them less often, saving you money. Now, Optiweb coating is the next big thing in Elixir’s coated string technology. It's designed for players who like uncoated strings but want longer - lasting ones. Optiweb strings last as long as other coated strings, yet their tone and feel are almost the same as non - coated strings. Features include gauges of.010,.013,.017,.030,.042,.054,.064, and.074.
Using these Elixir electric guitar strings is easy. Just install them on your guitar like you would with any other strings. Make sure to tune them properly to get the best sound. When playing, you'll notice less finger squeak, which makes for a more enjoyable performance. As for maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry and clean environment. Wipe the strings with a soft cloth after each use to remove sweat and grime, which will help the coating last even longer. Also, if you're not going to play your guitar for a while, loosen the strings a bit to reduce tension. And remember, these strings last 3 - 5 times longer than ordinary ones, so you don't have to change them as often.
